Project Summary:

Revise its current curriculum to support the inclusion of trainees with disabilities, launching a targeted marketing strategy that involves partnerships with local organizations and laying the groundwork for a Community Advisory Board that represents the full range of program stakeholders.

Objectives Accomplished:

• Revised the current curriculum to support the inclusion of trainees with disabilities, leveraging a second-year trainee as peer-mentor
